Tuesday, the former Washington Capitals “Young Gun” and current 19-year-old Caps goaltending prospect Ilya Samsonov won the Gagarin Cup with Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Metallurg defeated CSKA Moscow at home in Game Seven, 3-1. The win comes after firing coach Mike Keenan part way through the season.

Semin signed a one-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens in the summer, but he lasted only 15 games before he was waived and asked to report to their AHL affiliate. Semin declined and returned home to Russia, signing for the remainder of the KHL season with Metallurg Magnitogorsk. He had 5 goals and 14 points in 20 regular season games.

Meanwhile, the mega-talented Samsonov won six games and posted a .925 save percentage during his first full season in the KHL.
